POV: Head Chef at a Top London Restaurant

That truffle burger must've been luke warm at best but more like cold, it spent so much time there without top bun ugh.
But I only really go to japanese michelin restaurants anyways. Western michelin dishes just end up being crude as hell and something I could easily setup at home. There's not much raffinesse. Just a bunch of butter and reductions for flavour. This menu really bored me just by looking at it. But if british tourist destinations are anything to go by that nation loves to stick by it's toddler tongue anyways. Fried, fried, fat, fat. Not much more.
If you're a half decent hobby cook and proper source your ingredients (not some heaux premium supermarket crap), then this isn't worth the money.

Interesting and amazing .... but totally choreographed. They probably make the same recipes with small changes week after week they change seasonally and have the best of the best ingredients. It takes a lot of skill and dedication to provide exceptional food.
I do think a great restaurant and menu is one of the pleasures in life, great food is love. Please if you can support great food.
I volunteer as a cook and non-paid manager of a kitchen cooking and serving 300+ homeless/addicted/mental health clients every morning.
We never know for certain what is on the menu for the next day it all depends on what is delivered by Second Harvest and generous others. We strive to make the best and most healthy quality meals we can with the food we receive.
Consider donating your time or food to your local not-for-profit kitchen.

Please know I have no agenda ..... but please support your local community kitchen.

Imagine Gordon Ramsay walks in with a go pro like that 😅

im no expert but is it really necessary to wear a ring or the watch when preparing food?

The bear season 3

it's just food bro

Lack of gloves, hairnets and the abundance of dirty pots makes that a definite HELLLL NO!! BLESSINGS

Drives me nuts. No gloves touching finished foods. Man youd be facing fines in America

poetry in motion

kinda weird. I come home after an 6h shift at a busy bar and what do I do to relax? Watching you work and sipping a negroni..

I feel like you’d have to wait an hour to get food

I just got done eating lunch and now I'm hungry again😂

the attention/care to details, is what separates those

top London Restaurants serve burgers? That's something

You need organization pretty bad bud

The calmest kitchen I've ever seen

Me pone muy nervioso verle tocar a todos los cocineros la comida con las manos, tras tocar todo. Pinzas?

Show this to guys who cry about a fast food staff member touches any food with hands.

Se ve mucha organizacion en esa cocina y se ven unas prepraciones muy buenas, pero ¿Por qué trabajan sin cofias y mascarillas? además de utilizar un anillo y reloj mientras manipula alimentos... ¿Dónde queda la inocuidad alimentaria?

Very diferent than french ones , 🇨🇵 we are better in the kitchen , and your better in Football

This is mental I work at Maccies which is scum compared to this 😂 much respect crew

this man took the burger bun off the burger and had a spoonful of what was on top. im flabbergasted

POV you’re the rat on his head

This is how a head chef should be not shouting and swearing at everyone. You keep getting angry with chefs you’ll lose your staff, make them nervous everyday and they’ll have no self esteem left.

It’s the one washing up I feel bad for. I hope they have a decent dishwasher unlike allot of restaurants.

How long is he gonna keep honing his knife, get your ass back to work!!

SHockingly sloppy plating, late on the pass, over done reductions, over reliance on the warmer because of undercooking,

It's interesting to note that all the places I worked usually has very quiet lunches yet packed dinners. I suppose that's the price for having a restaraunt in a city.

As someone who burns cereal, this was amazingly satisfying to watch.

Great team. Amazing! But my thoughts goes to the dishwasher

Basically: you're an average Italian in London.

funny: coffee break in inv banking

I listen to this while I study

I feel like Ratatouille on his head

I really don't like how many fingers touched the food

do the spoons get washed? you’re putting it in your mouth and then in hot water & then using it again? (not a hater or out for your job btw just a genuine question like do you not worry about picking back up the mouth spoon love u love ur work)

He is eating all their food

God that burger looks so good

this is like olympic level sport

Aaand now I'm hungry, great

can we get an hour long dish pit POV cheers

Hope his hands are clean...

Just give them all of it man. Why are you keeping a bite of everything for yourself? The owners don’t pay you to eat their food. You’re already ripping them off enough with those tiny portions.

Pros
But the chef never tastes anything

insane,that´s a stressfull job

All the food looks delicious and you are doing a great job managing this kitchen. The way you garnish plates though, looks utterly random and chaotic. I can appreciate that you are going for a rustic aesthetic, but it's lacking clarity and depth.

Can you overcome the recipe thing?
The recipe is dirty and throws paint out as it is moved and smashed
Then you grab the food and technically contaminate it

I think you guys proud in having highest quality ingredients and even though what I just said I about the recipes I 100% intend to visit it the place

Cheers blokes. Great stuff.
